I’ve been looking at the new table features (xltabular, tabularx…) and I
love the improvements.

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum for feature enhancements to v2.4,
but I’d love a pair of “suppress column space beforeafter” tickboxes that
put “@{}” before/after the column specifier.

For example, if I have a table with several columns, one of which is a
“Variable” width column, and then use the “LaTeX argument” field to
override the definition, this triggers LyX into thinking you no longer want
the X (“Variable”) type column any more, and instead of a “tabularx” table
you get a “tabular” (which has no concept of an X column).

Looks like the same thing happens on multi-page tables too :-(

I suppose a more general solution might be to have text fields where you
can put in whatever “@{}”-style overrides you like without interfering with
LyX’s column specifier.

Both source code and binaries for Windows and OSX can be found here:

Can confirm: it compiles and runs fine (during my very limited tests) on
Arch Linux.

Looking forward to the final release!

Re: Aw: Re: Ligatures in the text

[Shay Riggs]

Hi Andreas et al,

A possible workaround, should you be looking for one, is to choose “Use
non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)” in document settings, and choose your
particular Palatino font variant from the Roman menu.

The default compiler appears to be XeTeX, but you can choose either “PDF
(LuaTeX)” or “PDF (XeTeX)” from Document Settings > Formats section should
you have a preference.

Beware that you lose some speed as these engines can be a little slower if
you’re using OpenType fonts.

Also, even though I’m pretty sure that Koma works fine with modern engines,
beware that I haven’t tested this beyond your MWE so YMMV :-)

Cheers
Shay

Is that different to Ancient Greek?

Perhaps the GFS fonts (included in texlive) fit the bill?

Re: Multi-page table

[Shay Riggs]

Hi Rich,

I took a quick look at this. It seems to work fine as long as it’s not in a
float (which I guess kind of makes sense now I think about it…).

As soon as you put it in a float, that’s when I get the effect you
describe, so try Inserting the Table on a blank paragraph in normal text
mode.

Someone else will have to help you regarding table numbering and
captioning, though. Perhaps the longtable manual can help.

Re: Recommendations for metadata storage in Stylz

[Shay Riggs]

I like Yaml. Easy to read, easy to type, easy for humans to comprehend. I
think I’d prefer it.

You could also have a look at CSS syntax as it’s kind of a halfway house
between Yaml and JSON. Not sure how you’d deal with hierarchical data
though.

My thoughts on JSON are that if you’re going to use it, you might almost as
well go full-bore XML :-) and IMHO entering more than a few lines of XML
(or JSON) is only truly feasible with an autocompleting editor or with a
combination of great discipline and hot coffee.

Re: Force previews to update

[Shay Riggs]

There is another instance where the ability to update previews would be
nice, namely when you change the maths font. (I usually do this in the
document preamble.)

I use lualatex for most things but I’d imagine the issue remains for other
TeX variants too. Sometimes I don’t get around to changing the math font
until later on, and the math previews remain stubbornly in Latin Modern.

It would be nice to be able to “View » Regenerate previews” or right-click
on a preview and choose a regenerate command.

A quick document close and re-open usually fixes it though.

Re: feedback on middle-clicking tab behavior

[Shay Riggs]

1a. I’d expect the tab to close on middle-click (like Chrome).
1b. I think the tab should close.

2a. I wouldn’t expect anything to happen.
2b. I don’t think anything should happen – but it would be great if there
were a “new tab/document” button (like Chrome). I’d expect that to create a
blank document using whatever the default settings are. (Can this be
specified somewhere?)

Re: Space between footnote-number and Footnote-text

[Shay Riggs]

Try sticking this [1] into the preamble:


\let\oldfootnote\footnote

\renewcommand\footnote[1]{%

\oldfootnote{\hspace{1mm}#1}}


Change “1mm” to whatever distance you require.


It looks to me (in my limited experience) that this code automates
Michael’s answer above.

Re: How to insert dots (ellipsis) in text mode?

[Shay Riggs]

Victor,

What platform are you on? On LyX 2.1.3 you can find it under the Insert 
Special Character menu where it should also tell you the keyboard shortcut.

For example, on my Linux machine it is Left Alt+. [i.e. the full stop
character].


Hope this helps.

Re: Update function does not update already open document

[Shay Riggs]

Hi Basma,

In my experience, Adobe Reader is almost always the PDF viewer of last
resort when using LyX – on Mac, Windows or Linux.

According to this page:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/43057/macosx-pdf-viewer-automatic-reload-on-file-modification

you should be able to just use the default OS X Preview program, but there
are other suggestions in the answers that you could try (e.g. Skim,
TeXShop).


Cheers

Re: Bigger root size under this special font.

[Shay Riggs]

The problem appears to be

\usepackage[adobe-utopia]{mathdesign}


in your preamble. If you change it to:

\usepackage{fourier}


(for the Utopia fonts) you can then use the \uproot{x} and \leftroot{x}
commands in your sqrt. You also need to make sure the amsmath package is
loaded.

Check out the attached, and also look in the preamble.

bigger tau.lyx

Re: Bigger root size under this special font.

[Shay Riggs]

Just to clarify my previous answer, invoking the mathdesign package appears
to nullify any effect of the \uproot and \leftroot commands.

Re: LyX article text/math format issues

[Shay Riggs]

Guten Morgen Jonas,

The first step with your document should be to change the style of some of
your mathematics to display (Insert  Math  Display Formula, or
Ctrl+Shift+M).

For example, the long equation on page 5, lines 5 and 6 would be better
suited as a an AMS align environment (Insert  Math  AMS align
Environment). In this way your maths would have space above and below, and
it is really easy to get all the alignment correct and nicely spaced.

Also, I notice you have sentences starting Definition:  In the
Document Settings dialog you should investigate the Modules pane,
particularly the Theorems (AMS)... modules. Read the notes that appear
when clicking on each module, then add the correct one. Then you should
find a Definition style in the style dropdown menu.

Hope this helps.

 Hello you wizzards! :)
 i just got a beginner question this time i was working in Lyx.
 Which format options do i have in the article class to make the math lines
 look more contrasted from the text lines?
 I do not have set any special settings in this article.
 My article is attached in this Mail.
 When i look at page 6 i really want my article to have a 1,5 line
 difference between math lines and text lines. And maybe there is a better
 solution for this. Probably there a even more ways to make the math/text
 format structure more clear and better readable.
 Could you please tell me a way to archieve that?
 Thank you alot for your help!
 Jonas

Re: Proofreading for LyX document

[Shay Riggs]

Use PDFLaTeX and send a PDF instead?

 Hello,

 Anybody knows affordable proofreading services who accept Lyx documents? I
 haveasked some proofreading services but unfortunately most of them only
 accept doc, pdf, and Latex.

 Converting document is the last option for me because it will introduce
 some mess.

 Thank you in advance
